Prince William and Kate Middleton have sent the British people their Easter wishes.
The royal couple said: “Wishing you all a safe and happy Easter” in a tweet from their Kensington Palace account.
The tweet was accompanied by a spring-themed picture of the west London palace, with flowering daffodils in the foreground.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s message comes after the Queen shared her own wishes in her first ever Easter address to the nation.
She reminded Brits that the coronavirus crisis would not last forever and that “as dark as death can be – particularly for those suffering with grief – light and life are greater.”
The Queen added: “This year, Easter will be different for many of us but by keeping apart we keep others safe.
“But Easter isn’t cancelled; indeed, we need Easter as much as ever.”
The Queen, who turns 94 in April, is in isolation at Windsor Castle with her husband Prince Philip.
Heir to the throne Prince Charles, 71, tested positive for Covid-19 in March, suffering “mild symptoms”, and has since recovered.
